• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA Input 32-bit DEM for resample.exe?

Dear All,

I have a wonderful 1m resolution DEM with 32 bit (floating point) elevations. I know I can export to a BGL using FractionalBits and BaseValue in my *.inf, which will create a mesh with sub-metre precision... but how can I import the 32-bit elevation model in the first place (using directives in the inf)? The SDK manual says resample can only input 16-bit, but is this really correct?

Many thanks

Andy
 
If this is for FSX, I believe you can use SampleType=FLOAT32 in the Source section... as long as the Source Type=Raw.

You should then be able to use fraction bits to scale the Destination.

I also see the FSX resample allows the destination file to be BIP, which is a raw data type. So... you could take the 32-bit float, resample to BIP ( making the data 16-bit integer again, and then resample that BIP using the fs2000 resample, to a scaled 16-bit output for FS2000->2004.
